Considering McCarthyism was an attempt to stop Russian influence on America, I’m not sure how they think that would go when basically their whole leadership structure is utterly compromised.
What a shit take. That’s like saying, “I don’t know how the Church thinks the Inquisition will go when they’ve deviated so far from Jesus’ teachings themselves,” or “I don’t know how Hitler thinks gassing the Jews will work when he has Jewish ancestors himself.”
It doesn’t fucking matter. They can pick whatever label they like, communist, heretic, immigrant, Jew, whatever, and apply it to whoever they feel like and not apply it to whoever they don’t feel like. You are an absolute rube if you think this sort of “gotcha” will slow them down in any way, you’re literally accepting their framing by doing that.

By ‘McCarthyism’ I think they mean ‘witch hunt’. Eradicating ‘Trump Derangment Syndrome’ or some such bullshit.
